Term: September 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019
Amount: $10,000
Scope: Agreement with the Center for the Professional Education of Teachers (CPET), Teachers College, to provide professional development services to meet the district’s need of increasing student achievement through effective reading practices. The workshops for teachers as well as school leaders will develop their instructional expertise in utilizing discussion strategies as a pre-cursor to support the comprehension component of the reading process. Through critical reflection and support from experienced coaches, teachers will be able to analyze the task and student work in order to change their instructional practices to meet students’ needs. Teachers will build on the first strategy (accountable talk/conversational strategy) to expand the process of helping students gain meaning from texts they read. |
